Class of 2017 PR Grad Gift Guide

PR friends and family, it is time to celebrate the new crop of graduates entering the field! We've put together some of our favorite items perfect for the college graduates in your world. From little luxuries to workplace essentials, there's something to appeal to even the most discerning future PR boss.

The forever jacket

The illusive, perfect leather jacket has been found. You're welcome. For instant outfit appeal for any interview, client meeting or after-hours events (which she will be polite enough not to tell you about), she'll think of you every time she grabs and goes. Plus, opting for white instead of expected black tells the world she's going places. Trust us.

Flying in Style

Luggage that will follow her from dorm room to Dubai. Away luggage will ensure she can always call home, built-in battery chargers and are essential for the girl on the go.

Away Luggage The Medium and Carry-On, The Medium is priced at $275, available at Away

The Competition is Heating Up

No one has time for a bad hair day in PR. Give her the gift of perfect waves with this curling iron that actually infuses moisture into the hair and this Agave heating oil that smooths and seals hair for deep shine.

Work in Progress

For the life-long planner (something that will serve her well in PR), a delightful trio of journals and notebooks is sure to please. After all, sometimes you just need to step away from the computer and scribble, you know?

Insta-worthy

Did you know that photography skills are in huge demand in PR? Give her the added advantage with a photo case that will help her to take the perfect photo during clients events. This case comes with 5 different lens options make it easy to get the shot.

Pretty in Pink

Sometimes you've just got to say no to the heels and yes to comfort (running around town with garment racks anyone?). These slip-ons will take her from weekend errands and sixth-floor walk-ups with ease. These come in 7 different colors but we are partial to blush.

Ongoing Inspiration

Twenty Two Letters to a Young Woman Searching for Meaning is the perfect Sunday read to de-stress and unwind after a hard week of pitching, writing and meeting with clients. It's a book she'll turn to again and again.
